An FBI agent has said an informant in a Pennsylvania statehouse sting told him he was discouraged from targeting Republicans in a case that brought down five Democrats.

The Philadelphia Inquirer (goo.gl/lq3Aga) reported Sunday that FBI Special Agent Richard Haag's comments come in a defense filing for Democratic state Rep. Vanessa Lowery Brown. She is the only defendant in the case still in office.

Former state prosecutor Frank Fina and Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams, a Democrat, denied they had any partisan motive when they took over the case from the Attorney General's Office.
